_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Bind time series which have a common frequency. 'ts.union' pads
     with 'NA's to the total time coverage, 'ts.intersect' restricts to
     the time covered by all the series.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     ts.intersect(..., dframe = FALSE)
     ts.union(..., dframe = FALSE)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

     ...: two or more univariate or multivariate time series, or
          objects which can coerced to time series.

  dframe: logical; if 'TRUE' return the result as a data frame.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     As a special case, '...' can contain vectors or matrices of the
     same length as the combined time series of the time series
     present, as well as those of a single row.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A time series object if 'dframe' is 'FALSE', otherwise a data
     frame.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'cbind'.

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

     ts.union(mdeaths, fdeaths)
     cbind(mdeaths, fdeaths) # same as the previous line
     ts.intersect(window(mdeaths, 1976), window(fdeaths, 1974, 1978))

     sales1 <- ts.union(BJsales, lead = BJsales.lead)
     ts.intersect(sales1, lead3 = lag(BJsales.lead, -3))
